Jessica's Epic Decision
March 27, 2006
Jessica Simpson's relationship with Columbia Records Group may have lasted longer than her marriage but, as in life, the songstress has decided to move on.
After working with Columbia since 1999, Simpson, 25, is now moving to Epic Records, where she'll finish her follow-up to 2003's "In this Skin." The new as-yet untitled album is expected sometime this year and an unnamed source told Billboard magazine that an R&B-style single is on the way. Simpson has said that her record will have "a little bit of everything in it."
The "Dukes of Hazzard" star's trip from Columbia to Epic was a short one--both labels are owned by Sony Music Group--and she will see familiar faces upon arrival.
